OBS

Most major property owners know of corrective measures for isolated problems, but none has an integrated, comprehensive solution to address the needs for maintaining an asset efficiently and cost-effectively over its service life. BELCAM addresses this situation by: -establishing the links between laboratory and field evaluations -developing information structures to integrate cost, performance and service-life models -implementing information technology tools to transfer technology to those in the industry. NRCC [National Research Council of Canada] and PWGSC [Public Works and Government Services] have agreed that a pilot project in a well-defined, well-understood asset domain would be the best approach for reaching their goals. The Building Envelope Life Cycle Asset Management (BELCAM) is a "proof of concept" project to initiate their plan. More specifically, BELCAM is a three-year research project concentrating on service life and asset management issues dealing with low-slope and flat roofing systems.

OBS

La plupart des propriétaires de bâtiment savent quelles mesures prendre pour corriger des problèmes isolés, mais il leur manque une approche globale et intégrée pour assurer la gestion des biens et des bâtiments de manière efficace et économique tout au long de leur cycle de vie. Le projet BELCAM a précisément pour but de fournir une telle approche : -en corrélant les évaluations effectuées en laboratoire et sur le terrain; -en développant des systèmes d'information qui intègrent des modèles des coûts, de la performance et de la vie en service des bâtiments; -en utilisant des outils informatisés pour transférer cette technologie aux membres de l'industrie.
